Set on a hillside overlooking Plai Laem, Samujana Eleven A delivers stunning ocean views and dreamy open-air living spaces. This three-bedroom vacation rental is the perfect size for a small family, a few sun-seeking friends or a couple on honeymoon. As part of the Samujana estate, the villa offers exclusive beach access and personalized service in a stylish, contemporary package. Your stay begins with a transfer from the Koh Samui airport and continues with complimentary breakfast each day. Guests can arrange to use the tennis courts, book spa treatments or ask staff to help charter a yacht, recommend a scuba school or organize in-villa Muay Thai or yoga classes. Relax in private by the villa’s infinity pool or on the rooftop deck. Try preparing local produce on the barbecue—or ask one of the Samujana chefs to show you how it’s done. Like the other houses on the estate, Samujana Eleven A was designed to blend into the lush landscape. Architect Gary Fell of GFAB Architects used natural stone and planters to tailor the villa to its surroundings. And with a sleek living room, dining area and fully equipped kitchen that are both open-plan and open-sided, the living spaces really do feel like they’re part of the island. If you’re entertaining while on holiday, let the breakfast bar double as a serving area for selections from the wine fridge and encourage guests to mingle as the ocean breezes waft in and the lights go on across the bay. For quieter evenings, there’s a separate enclosed media room. Each of the villa’s bedrooms invites you to stay in luxury with a king bed, en-suite bathroom, lounge area and terrace access. Sleep soundly in the naturally ventilated rooms and wake up to sunshine spreading across the minimalist built-in furniture and bright bedding and artwork. Though Koh Samui is known for its beaches (and you could easily spend your vacation watching the waves lap at the sand), there’s plenty more to do on this picturesque island. To get your beach fix, stroll down to the Samujana private beach or take the estate’s shuttle service to family-friendly Choeng Mon Beach or lively Chaweng Beach. Ask staff about chartering a boat for swimming or snorkeling, taking a Thai cooking class, going on a guided tour of nearby waterfalls, temples and the rum distillery, visiting a night market or trying an adventure sport like go-karting or kitesurfing.
